The absorbent materials are formed by Spray AURORA, CO 80014 (US) processing and posses a well-defined chemical composition and microstructure. The absorbent materials can have a high absorption capacity for a chemical Species Such as H2S, (21) Appl. No.: 10/996,672 CO, NO, and H and have a high recylability, such that the chemical Species can be absorbed and desorbed over a large (22) Filed: Nov. 24, 2004 number of cycles.
